It should be a model for future endeavors to help quantify environmental risk as a basis for good decisionmaking." —William D. Ruckelshaus, from the foreword. This volume, prepared under the auspices of the Health Effects Institute, an independent research organization created and funded jointly by the Environmental Protection Agency and the automobile industry, brings together experts on atmospheric exposure and on the biological effects of toxic substances to examine what is known—and not known—about the human health risks of automotive emissions. %0 Book %E Roizman, Bernard %T Infectious Diseases in an Age of Change: The Impact of Human Ecology and Behavior on Disease Transmission %@ 978-0-309-05136-1 %D 1995 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/4772/infectious-diseases-in-an-age-of-change-the-impact-of %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/4772/infectious-diseases-in-an-age-of-change-the-impact-of %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 272 %X Twenty-first century progress against infectious diseases is threatened by urbanization, population growth, war refugees, changing sexual standards, and a host of other factors that open doors to the transmission of deadly pathogens. Infectious Diseases in an Age of Change reports on major infectious diseases that are on the rise today because of changing conditions and identifies urgently needed public health measures. This volume looks at the range of factors that shape the epidemiology of infectious diseases—from government policies to economic trends to family practices. Describing clinical characteristics, transmission, and other aspects, the book addresses major infectious threats—sexually transmitted diseases, Lyme disease, human cytomegalovirus, diarrheal diseases, dengue fever, hepatitis viruses, HIV, and malaria. The authors also look at the rising threat of drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, rapid exhaustion of the weapons to fight bacterial infections, and prospects for vaccinations and eradication of pathogens. Infectious Diseases in an Age of Change will be important to public health policymakers, administrators, and providers as well as epidemiologists and researchers. %0 Book %T Addressing the Physician Shortage in Occupational and Environmental Medicine: Report of a Study %D 1991 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9494/addressing-the-physician-shortage-in-occupational-and-environmental-medicine-report %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9494/addressing-the-physician-shortage-in-occupational-and-environmental-medicine-report %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 31 %0 Book %A National Academy of Sciences %E Sciences, National Academy of %E Kwon, Diana %T From Research to Reward: Something Lost, Something Gained: High-Tech Prosthetics Build on New Understandings of the Human Body %D 2020 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25570/from-research-to-reward-something-lost-something-gained-high-tech %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25570/from-research-to-reward-something-lost-something-gained-high-tech %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %P 4 %0 Book %T (NAS Colloquium) The Neurobiology of Pain %D 1999 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9630/nas-colloquium-the-neurobiology-of-pain %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9630/nas-colloquium-the-neurobiology-of-pain %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Biology and Life Sciences %K Health and Medicine %P 144 %0 Book %T (NAS Colloquium) Virulence and Defense in Host--Pathogen Interactions: Common Features Between Plants and Animals %D 2001 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10099/nas-colloquium-virulence-and-defense-in-host-pathogen-interactions-common %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10099/nas-colloquium-virulence-and-defense-in-host-pathogen-interactions-common %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Biology and Life Sciences %P 124 %0 Book %T The Life Sciences: Recent Progress and Application to Human Affairs The World of Biological Research Requirements for the Future %D 1970 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9575/the-life-sciences-recent-progress-and-application-to-human-affairs %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/9575/the-life-sciences-recent-progress-and-application-to-human-affairs %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Health and Medicine %P 526 %0 Book %A National Academy of Sciences %T Biographical Memoirs: Volume 48 %@ 978-0-309-02349-8 %D 1976 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/571/biographical-memoirs-volume-48 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/571/biographical-memoirs-volume-48 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Biography and Autobiography %P 399 %X Biographic Memoirs: Volume 48 contains the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their published works.

The volume describes the earth as a unified system—exploring the interactions between the atmosphere, land, and water and the snowballing impact that human activity is having on the system—and presents perspectives on policies and programs that can both develop and protect our natural resources. One Earth, One Future discusses why such seemingly diverse issues as historical climate change, species diversity, and sea-level rise are part of a single picture—and how human activity is the critical element in that picture. The book concludes with practical examinations of economic, security, and development questions, with a view toward achieving improvements in quality of life without further environmental degradation. One Earth, One Future is must reading for anyone interested in the interrelationship of environmental matters and public policy issues. %0 Book %A National Academy of Sciences %T Report of the Treasurer: For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 %D 2023 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27135/report-of-the-treasurer-for-the-year-ended-december-31 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27135/report-of-the-treasurer-for-the-year-ended-december-31 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Policy for Science and Technology %P 74 %0 Book %A National Academy of Sciences %T Biographical Memoirs: Volume 59 %@ 978-0-309-04198-0 %D 1990 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/1652/biographical-memoirs-volume-59 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/1652/biographical-memoirs-volume-59 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Biography and Autobiography %P 494 %X Biographic Memoirs: Volume 59 contains short biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences. %0 Book %A National Academy of Sciences %T Biographical Memoirs: Volume 70 %@ 978-0-309-05541-3 %D 1996 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/5406/biographical-memoirs-volume-70 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/5406/biographical-memoirs-volume-70 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Biography and Autobiography %P 448 %X Biographic Memoirs: Volume 70 contains the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their published works.
